Recording Time Remaining: 30 seconds

I have 50 gigs free on my hard drive. I have the tempo set at 1 beat per minute. I dragged the max song length thingy out to 2000+ measures. I have about 2 hours of audio recorded on this track and now when I try to record more it says "recording time remaining: 30 seconds" and counts down from there. Why can't I record more audio?

Hi there,
When you use a compression filter, your PC have to process every frame that you acquire.
Depending on your image size, image type (color or mono) and your CPU performance, you will increase time needed between each acquired frame.
Try different codec. But keep in mind that some only work on color images and some on mono images or both.
You will find a VI that list all the codec installed on your computer.
The frame rate you mentionned when you create an AVI is only an indication for the playback. It doesn't help.
Hope this helps

Video Quality :: remaining recording time in shari...

I have a problem when setting the Video Quality to Sharing Quality the remaining recording time shown ONLY 35 seconds but when I increased it to TV high quality it comes 1 h : 30 m : 25 s
strange???
can any one help

not sure , but 'sharing quality' may be something you can attach to a txt message so is limited to data size of video rather than available phone memory ? I tend to record in high quality and simply upload via Pixelpipe to FB or Image Shack and send a link via message if I want to share via sms . Hope you get a better solution from someone who knows the definitive answer

Conky battery time remaining - without the seconds

The 'battery_time' variable outputs in HH:MM:SS format; I find the last bit redundant and it takes up valuable space in my status bar.
I found this solution that worked for others, though I'm having trouble making it work for me.
${execi 60 cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT*/state | awk '{if ($0 ~ "present rate:"){rate = $3} if($0 ~ "remaining capacity:"){cap = $3}} END {printf "%d hours %d minutes\n" ,(cap / rate), (((cap % rate) / rate) * 60)}'}
/proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/ has been dropped in favor of /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/, though I don't see the 'state' script needed by the above command to work.
capacity, charge_full, charge_now, cycle_count, status, etc are there, but no 'state' containing "remaining capacity:" or "present rate:" needed for the math to take place

Hi!
Maybe for the original poster this came late, But i found a solution for this problem by my own and I want to share it for future use
Using the variable $battery_time from conky you can display the time remaining on your battery only in hours and minutes (losing the seconds).
1st> Add to the start of your conky config file the flag:
times_in_seconds true
This will "convert" the output of $battery_time to seconds (e.g. 1h 1m 1s --->3661 sec )
2nd> Use the follow expression to convert from seconds to hours and minutes:
${format_time $battery_time "\hh\mm"}

Stuck in calculating time remaining, what do i do, its my second airport time capsule that i purchased as the first had a faulty hard drive, why is this soo hard!

This is my second airport time capsule as the first i purchaed had a faulty hard drive, so now, its been a while i keep trying hoping it will work but its always stuck in 'calculating time remaining'. i thought it was my wifi so i connected directly to the capsule using an ethernet cord, bought an adaptor as i have the new macbook air (4m old) 13 inch, still not working. Help please,i am thinknig of just returning it and getting a less expeecsive and easier one to use.

Mavericks is the pain here.
It can lose the network connection half way through a backup.
When you connect by ethernet (good to get that.. hope it is the thunderbolt to ethernet).. did you turn off the wireless.. this is important.. nothing changes if the wireless is still on.
I recommend you start over. Keep the wireless on for this part.
Stop the backup.
Factory reset the TC.
Redo the TC setup but this time use all short names, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
I know the airport utility will suggest apple names..
Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule.
Don't fall for it.
Use TCgen5
For wireless name use TCwifi (or if you want more control, TC24ghz and change 5ghz to TC5ghz).
Wipe the current TM setup.
Use A4 to reset it. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
With wireless off now and just ethernet connection try the backup again.
No luck manually mount the TC hard disk in finder. Go/Connect to Server.
AFP://TCname.local (replace TCname with your new nice short name.. and use the domain which is local by default).
OR
Use AFP://10.0.1.1 (Replace with whatever IP the TC uses.. but it must be static.. easy for router mode.. not so easy if the TC is in bridge mode).
The Computer will request the password.. type in whatever password you used for disk access.. by default it ithe device password. If you did not change it then default is public.
This setup has worked for other people.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5951390?tstart=0
I cannot guarantee you won't need to reboot the TC oocasionally as it does fall over.
There are other bits that I keep forgetting..
Make sure ipv6 is set to link-local for both wireless and ethernet in the computer.
Once you finish the main backup the short incremental backups can work over wireless.. so just turn wireless back on.

Can't See Time Remaining on DVR Recordings

When I watch a recorded show, I used to (before upgrading to Quantum) be able to hit the info button on the remote to see how much time was left in the recording. However, the button is unrepsonsive unless I press it repeatedly and then time remaining will briefly flash on the screen. I have tried multiple remotes, along with resetting the media server and clients. This only happens on recorded shows. If I am timeshifting a live program, the info button and time remaining work fine.
Solved!

Just gave it a shot, but no luck. It has the same results as hitting the info button. If I press it quickly and repeatedly, the show info, along with time remaining will flash on for about 1/2 a second or so. It's only the media clients this is happening on. The media server (VMS1100) works fine.
OK, I just went and checked on one of my IPC1100 clients, works exactly the same way as on the VMS. My guess is that you have one of the display time values set differently on your VMS vs. your client(s) - I have mine set to 4 seconds. I suggest you take a look at the timeout settings on the VMS and compare them to your client(s).
Edit: I just re-read your post and realized you said hitting the Info button gave the same results as hitting the OK button. That does not happen for me, on either VMS or IPC. Hitting Info gives me the detailed program info screen (full screen), hitting OK gives me the channel info banner at the bottom of the screen. So I think you neet to take a look at several of the settings and set them to agree between the VMS and PIC boxes.

Soundtrack Pro pops out of record mode after 1 second - Help!

I have an ADR session tomorrow, so this one is pretty urgent. I have Soundtrack Pro 2.02 on my PPC G5 and I've used it to record vocal tracks for a long time, but I haven't used it a couple months. I started it tonight to do a couple test takes and hit the record button and it records for about 1 second then pops out of record mode. The playhead, however, continues to run. So it's not that it stops altogether, it just quits recording.
Nothing new in terms of hardware, same preamps, same mic. No new software that I can think of, just the standard updates. Searched the and found the same question asked a earlier this year but was never answered ( http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1382762&tstart=6 ). I hope someone knows what's going on. Thanks much.

UPDATE:
I did a complete re-install of FCS and it's working now.

Canon Rebel T5i automatically stops recording after about 6 seconds. How can I disable or fix this?

I just got a Canon Rebel T5i and I was testing out the video and several times it will automatically stop recording after about 6 seconds. How can I fix or disable this?

And while buying said faster card... buy a REPUTABLE brand from a reputable vendor. I've come to the conclusion that there are a lot of fly-by-nights making cards that are not as fast as they claim to be.
Reputable vendors are companies like Sandisk and Lexar. But as an SD card is just a plastic card with a sticker on it, and stickers are pretty easy to fake, buy the card from a vendor you can trust is not selling fakes.
This is one item where it is probably not a good idea to try to save money by finding the cheapest deal you can find on the Internet.

Recording time on a CD

I am having trouble trying to burn a CD. All of the tracks I have selected for the playlist are tracks that I have imported into my music library. None of them were purchased. My blank CD is capable of 80 minutes of recording time. The tracks I have selected total 73 minutes and 22 seconds. When I select "burn" I get the message that says all of the tracks will not fit on one CD. I do not understand why I am getting this message. Is anyone else having this problem. If so, what can be done to correct it? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Do you have anything set for time between tracks in the "Burning" preferences?
Strange, considering an "80 minute" CD typically holds about 78 minutes worth of audio.

Record time not showing in approval tab for user

Hello Gurus,
It a very strange kind of issue. As you can see in the screenshot , the first approval has approved the PO and then ideally it should go to the second approver and it happening but while checking in the portal we can't see the record time in the portal , Also user has to approve the PO several times which is making the user unhappy . So how to remove this bug . While more to add we are working on ACW with custom BADI's (copied of standard with addition condition). Can anyone tell me why its happening.
Thanks

Hello Gurus,

Why is the time remaining so wrong?

I've noticed over the past few years that the "Time Remaining" estimates from various applications in OS X are increasingly inaccurate - usually the estimate is too long!
This is true for apps from Itunes, to Disk Utility, to <on and on and on>. For example, I was just burning a DVD from a playlist in ITunes and when it started the "Finishing" part - it said "Might be up to an hour". It completed in 30 seconds.
Time estimates are just that - estimates - but do they have to be so wildly inaccurate as to be useless as a guide? I have a feeling nobody in the OS X world has looked at how they update the estimate in a long time, and they do not presently reflect the performance of either hardware or software.
Hey Apple! Update the Time Remaining code! Please?
David

Ignoring the boot progress bar (which I believe is an animation, at least it was in my old Tiger system), the progress bars are usually computed by specifying a range of values to produce a scaling factor and updated by supplying values within that range. The amount of progress is determined by the supplied values within the range.
The segment of code responsible for supplying values is given control on some criteria within the algorithm doing whatever the progress is to measure. There's potentially a lot of variables that can affect when this segment of code is called to update its progress. With disk copies there's how fast the drives are, buffer sizes, what else is running that could interrupt the process, and who knows what else. Certainly you should not expect the progress bar drawing to have a high priority in the grand scheme of things. I'd rather the service be "obsessed" with its primary goal (whatever its service is to do) rather then keeping me constantly updated every millisecond taking valuable cycles from the primary task.

I have been using time machine to back up my Mac Book Pro 3.1 to my Time Capsule. Now the Time machine hangs up on "calculating time remaining".

I have been using time machine to back up my Mac Book Pro 3.1 to my Time Capsule. Now the Time machine hangs up on "calculating time remaining".
Mac Book Pro - 3.1-15-inch 2.4/2.2GHz), Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Operating system : OS X 10.10.1
Time Machine Version 1.3, Copyright 2007-2014 Apple Inc., Modified Tuesday, September 9, 2014 at 6:03 PM
Time Capsule: 500 GB C 2007
This Time Machine software worked satisfactory until Monday Nov, 10 2014 and I have backups until that time. For several years, the software deleted the oldest back up to save the latest one. This is acceptable to me as I have off site storage that is updated every 3 months. How do I get Time machine working again?

I have spent a couple of days trying to respond to Linc Davis. Finally I figured it out . The following is a copy of data from my console from the initiation of a time machine backup until it gets stuck trying to calculate the time remaining. There is no indication that anything starts saving. I copied about 3 minutes of data. This is probably way too much data, but I do not know what is relevant.
Thanks for the help,

Can't view audio controls (time remaining, scrub bar, etc.) in os5 on iPhone 4

Since upgrading to OS5, my iPhone 4 won't display the audio controls during music or podcast playback.
Very annoying since I really liked the time remaining and scrub features that I had before.
Is this a bug? Or is there some setting control that I haven't yet found to re-enable these features?

Just found the solution on a different thread.
Turns out that the audio controls can be toggled on and off, though this isn't explained in the manuals.
paraphrased from the other solution:
"While your audio file is playing, double-tap and hold (on the album artwork) until the scrubbing bar reappears.
A double tap doesn't seem to do it. You have to hold the second tap down to get it to work. Don't lift your finger from the second tap until the scrubbing bar re-appears. "

When I try to install "Addblock Plus", a pop-up box displays "Add-on downloading", and "unknown time remaining - 0 bytes (0 bytes / sec)". My local area connection status box shows that it is connected but that nothing is being received.

I am using Firefos 9.0.1 under Windows XP. I use Avast anti-virus. My Add-ons bar is empty. I have not initiated the installation of any plug-ins. Downloads keeps no record of my attempts.

Thank you for your interest mha007. This is an update on my evenings activities so far.
I have done that trouble shooting with results, as follows:
Started in safe mode
In Tools/Options/Advanced/General, I unchecked "Use hardware acceleration when available"
Clicked on Tools/Add-ons
"Get add-ons" displayed "Loading" indefinitely
All 5 Extensions are dis-abled: it suggested that I remove "Microsoft.net framework assistant 1.2.1" & "Test pilot 1.2".
On "Microsoft.net framework assistant 1.2.1" I Clicked "Remove". It remained but with version 0.0.0.
On "Test pilot 1.2" I clicked "Remove". It disappeared.
The single Appearance "Default 9.0.1" is disabled
None of the 16 plug-ins are disabled.
I clicked on Add-ons and "Get add-ons" displayed "Loading"
Several minutes later I found that, "Add-ons" had loaded.
I clicked on "Most popular" and then on "Add to Firefox " within "Adblock plus"
A pop-up box displayed "Add-on downloading", and "unknown time remaining - 0 bytes (0 bytes / sec)".
Within a minute, a Firefox "Alert" pop-up window opened with the message: "An error occurred during a connection to www.mozilla.org:443 / The OCSP server experienced an internal error. / (Error code: sec_error_ocsp_server_error)"
I bookmarked the "Most popular add-ons page"
I closed Firefox and opened it again - not in safe mode.
Clicked on Tools/Add-ons. "Get add-ons" displayed "Loading".
In Extensions, on "Microsoft.net framework assistant 1.2.1" I Clicked Disable", and Restart Firefox
I clicked on Tools/Add-ons. "Get add-ons" displayed "Loading". Message displayed "Connected to services.add-ons.mozilla.org. Waited.
10 minutes later I opened a new tab and clicked on the "Most popular add-ons page" bookmark. Message displayed "Connected to add-ons.mozilla.org". Waited.
15 minutes later, neither of the tabs had responded. I re-started firefox in safe mode
I clicked on Tools/Add-ons. "Get add-ons" displayed "Loading". Message displayed "Connected to static-ssl-cdn.addons.mozill.net"
Using the new tab from above which was not active on restart, I clicked on the "Most popular add-ons page" bookmark.
The bookmarked page opened. I clicked on "Add to Firefox " within "Adblock plus"
Again, a pop-up box displayed "Add-on downloading", and "unknown time remaining - 0 bytes (0 bytes / sec)". (No Alert this time).
I don't know what to read into all of this. Any advice on what the next best thing to do would be appreciated.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

Erratic battery indicator "time remaining"

This little Mac has always had battery problems. When it was hers, my daughter went through 2 batteries. Now that it's come home to me, I figured I'd lick the problem once and for all. So I bought a NewerTech battery.
It lasts longer (previous battery would die after just a few minutes). But it (still) displays erroneous info. It often lapses into "calculating… remaining." And even when it shows the time, it's usually wacky. Like "254.15"… then "75.35"… then "3.54" — just all over the place.
The OS is a complete reinstall since I got it back from my daughter. I've done the PMU reset (multiple times) and the PRAM reset… and even deleted the powermangement .plist file. Nothing has solved this issue.
coconutBattery says…
original capacity: 4400 mAh
current capacity: 4200 mAh (I didn't run it the first day, but this battery has only been in this Mac for two days)
battery loadcycles: 0
If I pull down the battery menu several times (even in quick succession), the reading is different every time First time, time remaining: "130.42"; second time, time remaining "4.20"; third time, "calculating…"; fourth time, "17.30", etc.
I'd sure love some advice on what to try next. Thanks.

If your "time remaining" is showing erronious numbers and you have already reset the PMU and PRAM you may have to " Recalibrate" the battery.

If that does not help you will probably need to take it in for service considering you have had issues with a few batteries.
